About the Book

Title: Espionage
Author: A.L. Sowards
Publisher: Covenant Communications
Date Released: March 2012
Genre: LDS Historical Fiction
France, 1944: Nobody expects Peter Eddy to survive his first commando mission—to retrieve a code book stolen by the Nazis—so when he does come back alive, his success is rewarded with an even more daunting assignment. Partnered with French Resistance leader Jacques Olivier, Eddy must identify which of three Allied contacts in Calais is a double agent and use the traitor to help implement a strategic Allied diversion that might win the war. Eddy and Olivier secretly cross the English Channel to confront their suspects one at a time, but what appears to be a clean assignment soon turns disastrous, and a shocking betrayal leaves Eddy in the grip of the Gestapo. With the courageous aid of Olivier and his sister, Genevieve, Eddy evades his captors with a dangerous escape plan. But as the Allied invasion approaches, treachery in the least likely places leads to fresh graves in the bloodied European soil—and only the power of loyalty and love can transform tragic endings into new beginnings.

  2. Loved the first chapter! I think I'm going to have to get it for my kindle! It's been far too long since I've read anything aged for someone over 3!

  5. I actually read the interview with Ms Sowards today and laughed at how clever she is. It's wonderful how differently men and women view things...Carmen, and so many other things in life. I'm continuously amazed, and often a bit saddened by the whole thing. Wonder what God was thinking when he made us that different?! LOL Most authors have a difficult time discussing whether they'd like their readers to take away a "moral of the story" or just read for entertainment. I liked that Ms Sowards braved the tides and gave both honest answers. These elements of her personality coupled with her clever and insightful ways make me feel certain her book will be a good and memorable one. If there's a chance to win a copy, I'd love one to review for my blog!
